Just taking pictures

I was a little bored tonight, so I picked up my camera and started playing around (best way to learn). Here a couple pics of some of what I have on the go right now.

Pic#1 - Some might know of the thread I had on the go of a phal. that I thought had crown rot. It turns out this phal. is a sequential bloomer. Here are a couple buds that have developed after the first 2 booms.

Pic#2 - Same phal. but another spike has started to form. It would be nice if I could get both to bloom at the same time, at some point.

Pic#3 - My first rebloom of a den., nothing special but a first for me. Den. Hollywood.

Pic#4 - Phal. stuartiana ‘Sogo’ HCC/AOS

pic#5 - A new paph. noid about to bloom

pic#6 - My first Cat. Alliance noid. I am not sure if I have the correct conditions to grown this, but I thought I might as well give it a try on a noid.

pic#7 - Ondontoglossum Violetta von Holm. This one has me the most excited.

pic#8 - 2nd spike starting to form on Ondontoglossum Violetta von Holm.

Pic# 9 – another of #5

Cheers,
Steve

Those are beautiful! I can't wait to see the full open flowers! That Paph looks like it is a very dark one.

Great job growing, your orchids love you

The Noid Catt. pic. is beautiful. I think your practicing is working cause the pictures all look great. can't wait to see all those in full bloom. Make sure you practice again then. OK.?

You made some beautiful pictures of them. I specially like the first you made from the Paph NOID (1).

Beautiful pics! It's a great idea to practice on some noids or cheapies first. That Paph looks absolutely yummy already! The Catt is gorgeous!
